JIM TOWNSEND ALIVE.
He is Still Wrestling Wth

The following letter from Jim

that the young man is still alive.

LuNDY, Nov. II.
FRIEND ROBERTS IL got your
very pungent letter and envelope.
You seem to run away with the no.
ton that am camping in a Postof
fee and have writing materials in
the slack of my pants all the time;
but you're off your official nut. /
am living at the head of Lake Can
yon, a hard jaunt from Lundy, and
have not been to town but once in
two months. AS few pass here, l
seldom have an opportunity of
sending letters to the P. O., and as
seldom receive any, so you will see
that my correspondence is quite
desultory and spasmodic. In few
days, however, 1 shall be compelled
to move out of this. The first
snowstorm will compel me to hump
myself to Lundy. l have been
working hard here since came,
but 1 was too late. Should have
been on the ground in May, instead
of the latter part of August. Had
l got here in season could have
cleared a couple of thousand dollars;
but next year 1 will be on time, de-
pend on it, and be grinding quartz
before the snow is off the hills.
have large quantity now ready to
mill, and would start in to crush
soon, now, but there are no mules
to pack and no water to run mill,
all being frozen up.
I ground two tons of rock from
a claim located for Ike Frohman
and myself and got $40, but the
expense of getting 1t to mill was too
great to leave much profit. l had
to make long trail, do a lot of
dead work to get at the ore, which
l packed on horse, two sacks at
time, on a riding saddle; and then
had to pay an extortionate price for
the privilege of grinding the rock
and dong the work myself. 1t is a
good mine, however, and will aver
age more than $40 per ton, taking
the ore as it comes. With proper
facilities for handling the ore it can
be mined and milled for IS per ton.
l expect to make some money out
of this mine next year, for Ike as
well as for myself. He has been a
royal good friend OF mine and /
value him at a high figure.
1 also crushed III sacks of ore
from another place, to practically
determine the value of the rock, but
not having received returns from the
Mint l cannot yet tell just what it
paid. 1t did pretty well, however.
Ii it pays $40 per ton it is a bonan-
"a, as l can get ten thousand tons
of it without using an ounce Of
powder. This time next year, if l
live, l confidently expect to have a
sack. This district will surely
boom before twelve months have
passed. 1t mas real merit, but has
unfortunately been cursed by an
army of penniless Adventures who
have driven capital away by their
exorbitant demands for claims.
They will talk of $50 900 for little
hole in the ground with as much
fiippancy as if they were Mackays
and Fairs, and Indignantly decline
fair cash price. while the bean
sack is empty and the sow-belly
sliced off plumb up to the hay-rope.
They are waiting for the .'boom."
Yours
JIM.

The Cook Book.

The ladies of the Women's Art
and Industrial Association are now
ready to distribute their cook books.
The books were sold for IS cents,
but since the ladies have seen how
large the book is and how well
bound, they feel that they made a
mistake IN not charging a dollar.
No one would have begrudged the
price. After these books get dis
tributed no one in the State of Ne

cooking. Good judges of cooking
all pronounce this BOOK a large

"Three cheers and a tiger for the

The cheers were gwen, and the

Balky Horses.

Notwithstanding the fact that there are a
great many baking horses in every part Of
the country very few people seem to know
how to treat them. The National Stock
man says that the following different ways
of treating balky horses are recommended:
First. Pat the horse on the neck, examine
him carefully, first on one side and then on
the other; if you can get him a handful Of
grass give it to him; then jump into the
wagon and give the word go, and he will
GENERALLY obey. Second. Taking the horse
out of the shafts and turning him around in
a circle until he is giddy will generally start
him. Third. Another way to cure balky
horse is to place your hand over his nose and
shut off his wind until he wants to 60
Fourth. Then, again, take couple Of turns
of stout Irvine around the forelegs just be-
low the knee, tight enough for the horse to
feel it; tie in bow knot; at the first click
he will probably go dancing off. After going
a short distance you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the tendons.
Fifth. Again, you can try the following
Take the tail of the horse between the hind
legs and tie it by a cord to the saddle girth.
sixth. The last remedy is as follows: Tie a
string around the horses ear, close to the
head. this will divert his attention and start
him.

How to Fight a Common Enemy

insects are the enemy Of farmers and fruit
growers. AS Prof. Cook, of the Michigan
College of Agriculture recently remarked
OF plant lice, insects respect neither kind
nor locality. Their harmful work is seen in
greenhouses, on window plants and on al
most all outdoor vegetation. Nor do thew
confine themselves to any single part of
plant. Some work on the roots and SAP the
vitality of herb or tree. Others draw their
nourlshment from the stems and twigs and
thus blight the plants. Others, again, suck
all the vitality from the bud and foliage.
Many work on both roots and leaves.
All cultivated vegetables, grains and trees
have their characteristic louise enemies,
Vegetation lice pass the winter as little
dark oblong eggs, usually fastened to the
buds. With the warm days of spring these
eggs hatch, and SO rapidly do the lice in
crease that soon, by the end of May say,
they may be counted by millions. Many
single apple buds, for instance, harbor as
many as fifty of the pests
Prof. Cook says he has found nothing so
satisfactory in treating plant lice as the
hol OoCllo ttIlu SOdp HllAUuTp. 10 make This
use one-fourth pound of hard soap, prefera-
bly, whale oil soap, and one quart of water,
or one quart of common soft soap and one
quart of water. This is heated till the soap
is dissolved, when one pint of kerosene oil is
added and the whole agitated till perma-
nent emulsion or mixture is formed. The
agitation is easily secured by use of force
pump, pumping the liquid with force back
into the vessel holding it. Then add water
SO that there shall be kerosene in the pro-
portion of one to fifteen
This liquid must be applied with energy.
If used for the adult lice or for eggs or newly
Matched lice, and it is not effective, it is only
because it is applied too gently. A good
force pump must be employed and dash the
liquid on the plants SO that it will scatter
everywhere, reach every egg, even though
these are crowded between the buds and
stem, every louise, even though sheltered by
leaves. Thoroughness is the only effective
method

Many artificial flavoring extracts are used
in foods and drinks, such as amylic valeri-
anate, amylic butyrate, ethlic butyrate,
propylic ether and caprylic alcohol, which
initiate the odor and flavor of the apple, the
pear, the pineapple, the strawberry and the
raspberry. THESE substances have been
tested by two French chemists, who find
them poisonous i'll considerable quantities,
but harmless in the usual small doses
Screws that are too small for separate
treatment may be cleaned from rust as fol-
lows: Take pound Of screws and place
them in a small box--a cigar box will do;
put a small quantity of oil on them and
shake fora minute; then put piece Of cot
ton waste in the box and repeat for a min
ute; finally, put a handful of sawdust in the
box, and shake for another minute CT so,
and remove the sawdust by sitting it from
the screws IN flne SIEVE. Ihe screws Will
come out well cleaned.
Leisure Hour states that in Germany the
blacksmith, when finishing horseshoe,
punches a hole in the two ends, and when
the shoe is cold he taps in a screw thread
and screws into the shoe, when on the horses
foot, a sharp pointed stud OF an inch in
length, and with shoes thus fitted the horse
travels securely over the worst possible road,
either when riding or driving; draught
horses are shod in the same way When
the horse comes to the stable the groom I'M
screws the pointed stud and screws in but,
ton, so that no damage can happen to the
horse, and the screw holes are prevented
from filling. When the horse is going out
the groom takes out the button and screws
in the pointed stud, and there IL no fear of
the horse coming back with broken knees or
strained sinews, and the public are spared
the sight of horses down or slipping in all
directions
